For stage one we need to learn how to identify what it is we need to link to and how to manage link definitions in a way that will preserve them over time. (This latter will be the killer part of a good linking mechanism.) Only when we have mastered this part of the problem should we consider how to 'standardize' the behaviour of links. ---- Martin Bryan, The SGML Centre, Churchdown, Glos.
